Actor director, Kantara fame Rishab Shetty is reportedly set to make a special appearance in NTR's upcoming action drama, Dragon, directed by Prashanth Neel. Although there's no official confirmation yet, discussions are allegedly underway between the two parties. Dragon is said to be Prashanth Neel's most ambitious project yet, surpassing his previous pan-India blockbusters, Salaar and KGF.
Dragon boasts an impressive line-up, with cinematographer Bhuvan Gowda and composer Ravi Basrur reuniting with Prashanth Neel after their successful collaboration on KGF. Rukmini Vasanth will play the female lead in Dragon and is also locked in for a pivotal role in Rishab Shetty's Kantara: Chapter 1.
The production of Dragon began in March, with a theatrical release date set for June 25, 2026. Meanwhile, Kantara: Chapter 1 is scheduled to release worldwide on October 2, 2025, in multiple languages, including Kannada, Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam, Bengali, and English.
The film's production team has been working tirelessly to bring this epic story to life. A massive house set worth ₹15 crore has been built at Ramoji Film City, reflecting the film's larger-than-life approach. Dragon promises to deliver high-octane action sequences, emotionally driven performances, and a gripping storyline.
